Overview

About 118 New Bedford Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

118 New Bedford Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1994 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £512,000 sits 159.9% above the 2000 sale of £197,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 118 New Bedford Road is modelled from its 185 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1DF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 118 New Bedford Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 118 New Bedford Road was lodged in December 2009 at band F and expired in December 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 118 New Bedford Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
